In this episode of The REAL Estate and Investment Show, host Daniel Clavijo welcomes Wendy Ouriel, a cellular biologist, CEO of her own skincare brand (Oumere), and avid equestrian!
Wendy shares her remarkable journey from conducting master's research on black widow spiders to founding Oumere - a research-driven, boutique skincare line. Discover how her background in biology and her personal struggle with acne led her to reject mass-produced, factory-made products in favor of creating high-quality, natural solutions from scratch in her own lab.
Key Highlights:
- From the Garage to Worth Avenue: Learn how Wendy’s indie beauty brand went viral after a full-page feature in the New York Times, allowing her to move from a garage lab to a flagship boutique on Palm Beach’s prestigious Worth Avenue.
- The Science of Skincare: Wendy discusses the pitfalls of "junk science" in the beauty industry, the importance of pH balance (maintaining acidic rather than alkaline skin), and why she exclusively uses glass packaging to avoid plastic leaching.
- Beyond Biology: An avid equestrian, polo player, and racehorse owner, Wendy dives into the dark side of the polo world, recounting her investigation into a massive "polo Ponzi scheme" involving animal abuse and financial fraud.
- Calculated Risks: Hear how Wendy funded her early business ventures through high-stakes horse racing and poker.
- The Value of Education: Wendy reflects on why her formal scientific training remains her most important professional investment.
